Our Digital SHEro Rosa on the Career.Now Podcast: Balancing Motherhood and Management

Listen now

Digital SHEro Rosa: From educator to manager 
              I am Rosa Ryberg, Business Unit Director at Inspari - a valantic company in Copenhagen. My professional career has taken me from a kindergarten teacher to IT consulting. I find the combination of pedagogy and management very valuable. My goal is to be a leader who is present and has a genuine interest in both the personal lives and professional development of employees. 
My slogan as a digital SHEro is “If you assume, you make an ass out of you and me” - for me, this means never simply accepting something, but questioning everything. Because I can only find good solutions if I really understand something.             

Balancing Motherhood and Management
              As a mother, I attach great importance to balancing my professional life and my family, which to be honest is not always easy. Flexibility is the key here - it allows me to reconcile both. Both areas need to be in balance. Because if I'm a good mother, I'm also a good manager and vice versa.            

My Superpower: Creativity and the Courage to Try New Things
              I asked my son what he thinks my superpower is - his answer was “creativity”. This also encourages me to keep breaking new ground and not to be afraid of not being perfect. I live this in my daily work, true to the motto: “You do it the best you can and then you cannot do more!”

Digital SHEro Katharina: My unplanned journey into the world of IT
              I'm Katharina and my journey in IT started rather unexpectedly. After studying business administration with a focus on operations, I was looking for a suitable position and came across valantic. Here I was able to practically apply my knowledge of consulting, IT, logistics and supply chain management, which I had deepened at university. At first, I was skeptical about the consultant cliché: constantly on the road and no free time. But at valantic, I discovered a place that offered individuality and gave me the freedom to remain authentic - a key to genuine customer relationships and my development as a consultant.            

My superpower: networking
              In the world of consulting, one of my greatest strengths is networking. I have made it my mission to find the right contact person for every problem.
This also helped me to get into consulting. As a young woman in a male-dominated field, I also had to learn to build up self-confidence, be convincing in workshops and stand up for my opinion. I learned early on to present myself with authority and not to be put off by skeptical comments. My responsibility in projects grew quickly and after just three months I was already leading larger workshops. These experiences have strengthened me and reinforced my ability to lead people through change, accompany them on their journey and overcome hurdles together.            

Leadership in consulting: stay true to yourself!
              As I grew into my role as a manager, I faced new challenges. I had never led a team before and had to learn to take responsibility and develop my team both professionally and personally. For me, leadership goes beyond setting guidelines - I focus on freedom and ensuring that every team member feels comfortable and can develop. My advice to young women who want to enter the IT industry: Be authentic, don't be influenced by stereotypes and stay true to yourself. This is the key to finding your own path in IT and being successful.

Our Digital SHEro Heena on the Career.Now Podcast: Painting as inspiration for SAP Consulting

Listen now

Digital SHEro Heena: Passion and Adaptability led me to SAP IBP consulting
              I am Heena and I work as an SAP IBP Consultant at valantic. In 2019, I left my home country India to start my master’s degree in supply chain management. I was sure that SAP IBP will be the future and I am proud to contribute as a consultant in digitizing the supply chain. For me, the consulting industry is the interface between technology and strategic decisions and is characterized by incredible diversity. This is exactly the kind of diversity I wanted in my job and valantic is a perfect fit. I am motivated by the different, complex requirements of our customers. I always think outside the box. My technical know-how in IT helps me to find the optimal solutions.             

My role model: my mom
              My mom is my great role model. She raised me as a single mother. I am incredibly grateful to her for the many values that she has taught me and that I will take to heart throughout my life. Even as a child, my mom motivated me to follow my passion and not let it stop me. From my own experience, I can therefore say that with the right support, the right guidance and your own thoughts, you can overcome anything.            

My superpower: Adaptability
              I can find my way in any situation, no matter how unfamiliar. This enables me to constantly learn new things. As a consultant, it's also important to be able to adapt to the different, complex requirements of customers. I therefore always try to think outside the box in order to find tailor-made and innovative solutions. These experiences have shaped my career and my way of working: Because you don't know how deep the mud is unless you've been in it yourself.

Digital SHEro Hannah: Half a salary for a whole brain - why part-time is the perfect working model
              I’m Hannah, Senior Manager of Data and GenAI at valantic. As a consultant, I have the opportunity to combine my two passions: Technology and social issues. I like working with people and I love explaining technology, making it understandable and finding solutions. I think technology is incredibly useful because it ensures fairness and information equality. This is also evident with my hobby horse GenAI. As a computer science student, I always wanted this "power machine" and I celebrated it without end when it was finally available with ChatGPT. As a part-time consultant, I have found the perfect working model for me, and I have achieved an optimal balance between "I can be a really good consultant" and "I can be a really good mom."             

Digital Shero Hannah, Senior Manager of Data and GenAI at valantic

My role model in IT
              I have always wanted to do something with people, so I decided to study computer science after I finished school. Consulting has made this wish come true. My biggest role model is a former colleague, a management consultant and a physicist at my previous employer. In addition to working all day, every day, she never stopped focusing on people and she was always available for any nonsense, such as karaoke in the hotel room.            

My superpower: Empathy and the correct use of GenAI
              I can communicate with people with a lot of empathy and use GenAI for almost anything. Especially as a part-time consultant, I use my time very effectively. Thanks to the help of artificial intelligence, I am much faster, I have more me-time, and therefore more energy to communicate empathetically with people. My slogan as a digital SHEro is therefore: "Make it your way and let VALLY help."

Digital SHEro Maria: My start in IT at valantic 18 years ago
              My name is Maria; I am a front-end architect in the field of customer experience, and I completed my dual studies at valantic. Actually, after graduating from high school, I wanted to study music with a major in violin. But then I decided that making music should remain a hobby for me. Instead, I pursued my second passion and studied media design. I've always been the digital type, and this was the perfect mix of programming and design for me. At valantic, I mainly advise our customers on the topic of user interfaces for online shops - from the underlying technology to interaction options to visual elements. A shop must not only look good, it must also function smoothly.             

My role model in IT
              It’s important to create female role models; especially in a male-dominated environment, it’s helpful to see other successful women. My role model is the American web developer Sarah Drasner. I’ve been following her for many years. She is now working at Google leading web development. She is not only an insanely good developer she can also explain technology issues so well that people understand them through and through. I just love how she constantly tries out new technologies, really gets to know them herself, and therefore provides great motivation for others.             

My superpower: That won’t work, it doesn’t exist
              My strength and conviction to pursue things comes if someone says, “that won't work, it doesn’t exist.” There is always a solution. It’s just as important to do everything possible to be confident; then you will succeed. Always try to be good, to inform yourself and acquire knowledge - if you can do your thing, nothing can stop you. My slogan as a digital SHEro also ties in with this: "Do everything you can to make sure you are confident, and then you will succeed."

Digital SHEro Christina: My passion for leadership in SAP HR consulting
              My name is Christina, I’m 30 years old and I have been working at valantic for two years. I live in Fürth, and I lead a team in our SAP HCM corporate customer department. My entry into IT was a natural development: After my dual business studies at an electronics company and a subsequent job in the mobile phone industry, my desire for further education during the pandemic led me to a master's degree in business consulting and digital management.
My studies were aimed at training future managers. So, I was able to gain my first leadership experience after completing my bachelor's degree; this was a lot of fun for me. At valantic, I was entrusted with project responsibility. As we were handling more and more projects, my boss asked me last year if I was interested in becoming a team lead, and I immediately agreed.             

Digital Heroes Christina - Women at valantic

My superpower: A willingness to learn and to set limits
              My superpower and drive at work is my willingness to learn and curiosity about new topics and challenges. In addition, in my role at valantic, I attach great importance to drawing healthy boundaries between work and private life. For me, it is crucial to set limits – after work, on weekends, and on vacation, I deliberately switch off. I also recommend this approach to my team, as I find it important not to be available around the clock and to be able to switch off occasionally.             

"Keep asking questions. Keep exploring."
              During my career, I was confronted with stereotypes early on, but I have learned not to be discouraged by them. I had the privilege of having a female executive in the mobile phone industry. And the exchange with other women has also helped me to strengthen confidence in my abilities. At valantic, I notice that the gender distribution is more balanced. I advise other women in the IT industry to simply dare and take the first step. It's never too late, and IT means more than just programming. Ask questions, be curious, and don't be discouraged – you can always change your mind if the “shoe” doesn’t fit. My slogan as a digital SHEro is: "Keep asking questions. Keep exploring."

Digital SHEro Claudia: My path to SAP consulting
              My name is Claudia, I am 56 years old, and I have been at valantic since 2018. It was not always clear that I would work in IT consulting, because I am a trained optician. Due to the lack of flexibility in this profession, it was difficult to balance family life and my job. When my son went to kindergarten, I decided to start my university studies. In the "Women in IT" course, I came into contact with IT topics for the first time. After studying economics with a focus on accounting, controlling, and financing, I started working in internal consulting before switching to external consulting. I never consciously made the decision to go into IT, but rather realized that you need to understand IT to make changes. I am not a developer in the classical sense; instead, my strength lies in analyzing processes and mapping them in SAP.             

Women at valantic - Digitalheldin Claudia

My superpower: Active listening
              My superpower is listening – this sounds passive at first, but it's very important to learn what is important to customers, why they're doing the things they're doing, and what they want. Because only if I understand customers’ needs and intentions can I advise them and find the best possible solutions.
It’s also important to be curious and never stop learning. You always have new customers, the technology is evolving, and there are constantly new challenges and solutions that you get to know. I appreciate this diversity and the variety in consulting. The same applies to people who work in the industry. There are quite different types of consultants. Some are communicative and extroverted, while others are more analytical and detail oriented. Both types are important in consulting because they have different perspectives and abilities.            

"Make it easy and just do it!"
              In my career I have experienced the changes in the IT industry, especially the increasing presence of women in technical professions and leadership positions - but it would be great if there were even more! I actively encourage women to take the step into IT, because it is an area that offers great opportunities. In particular, consulting offers flexibility and financial freedom, which allows women to be independent. 
It’s not about gender, but about the ability to acquire and apply knowledge. I firmly believe that you can succeed in IT if you are ready to constantly educate yourself and take on new challenges. As a consultant, I am pragmatic and do not search for the perfect solution forever, but just get started and try not to complicate things. Therefore, my slogan as a digital SHEro is: "Make it easy and just do it!"

Digital SHEro Liliana: My last 25 years as a woman in software development
              My name is Liliana and I have been a part of valantic since 2000. My journey started in Romania, where I first dreamed of becoming a mathematics teacher. But I was fascinated by the world of technology from an early age. So, I decided to study electronics and communications engineering at the University of Bucharest, and I specialized in expert systems and programming languages. As part of my doctorate, I focused on the topic of artificial intelligence long before AI became a trend topic. In the end, my path in the new millennium led me to Germany and to valantic. Although I started as a software developer, I am now Head of Engineering for our Payments division in the area of transaction automation.            

Dr. Liliana Dafinca, Head of Engineering, Payments, valantic

 My superpower: Clear and open communication
              What motivates me most in my work is the opportunity to develop innovative solutions and be at the forefront of the technology landscape. I am particularly excited about working together as a team to overcome challenges. In my working environment, it is important to me to create a climate of trust. In addition, it is crucial that we as a team can continuously improve and enable everyone to make a contribution. Openness and respect enable individual growth and lead to success for everyone. My superpower is clear and open communication. My goal is to minimize misunderstandings, increase efficiency, and create a positive working environment.            

"Identify what really inspires you, invest in continuous education, and have confidence in your skills."
              It was always obvious to me that I would follow my passions in IT. At first, as a female software developer, I was the absolute exception, and I was not always taken seriously. But with some assertiveness, I gained the full confidence of my colleagues. Meanwhile, the gender ratio has developed very positively, and about 30% of the members of our team are female. Diversity is of great importance to me, because it makes collaboration even more pleasant and encourages creativity. My advice to other women who are looking for a leadership position in IT is not to be discouraged by stereotypes. Every contribution by women to IT or management is extremely valuable and we should be proud to promote diversity in this industry. Identify what really inspires and motivates you, invest in continuous education, and have confidence in your skills. Establish and build on clear, tangible goals.

Digital SHEro Saide: From classroom to SAP consulting
              My path to IT began with my studies in business informatics and education. Originally, I thought I wanted to become a teacher, but my interest in IT increased during my studies. After graduating, I started my student teaching at a vocational school, but quickly realized that teaching was not my true passion. I was looking for a profession that combines interaction with people with the IT-related aspects of my studies. Especially the diversity and variety drew me to consulting. Since November 2022, I have been working as an SAP consultant in the FI and AMS sectors at valantic in Austria.            

My superpower is my serenity
              In my current work, I can combine my pedagogical expertise and my technical knowledge optimally. My enthusiasm for the variety of my tasks and the constant change in the IT industry drive me and motivate me in my work. No day is like any other and there are always new challenges to overcome. My superpower is the serenity with which I confront even difficult projects and always remain unflappable. My educational training benefits me in consulting, as I learned to communicate with people and impart knowledge. However, my serene nature has always set me apart from other people.             

"Just dare - don't be afraid, try it out!"
              Before beginning my studies, I had some reservations about choosing business informatics as my second subject. But I quickly realized that there were more women in the department than I thought, and my initial concerns quickly vanished. Even when I started my career in SAP Consulting, I had no problems. Currently, I am the only woman on the team and sometimes I would like to have more female colleagues with whom I can exchange ideas. Therefore, I can only encourage other women who are thinking about entering the IT industry to do so and just try it out. There are many different areas in IT where women can succeed. My slogan is therefore: "Just dare - don't be afraid, try it out!"

Digital SHEro Bianka: My passion for programming
              My name is Bianka, and I work as a developer at valantic. I’m originally from Croatia, but I moved to Germany two years ago. My enthusiasm for IT began in school and led me to my computer science studies. I gained my first programming experience in a C# workshop, which also led to my first job. In the process, I discovered my passion for programming. I particularly like the results that I can achieve with programming. I enjoy creating something and seeing how it works.
After a while, I switched to consulting. There I appreciate the diversity of technology and continuous learning. My path finally led me to Germany and to valantic, where I have been supporting exciting customer projects for two years now.            

My superpower: I always find a way!
              I always find a way out. No matter what the situation or problem, I always find a solution, even if it’s not always visible at first. For me, the urge to solve problems and the desire to work through puzzles are important characteristics for programmers. This skill benefits me not only in my job, but also in my free time, where I like to play board games and D&D. I also relax by reading fantasy and science fiction books. Recently, my Boston Terrier has also been an important part of my home office leisure activities.
In my daily work, the opportunity to constantly learn new things is what drives me. Because the projects I work on are so varied, I can always try out new technologies and expand my horizons. My experience in the in-house and consulting environments has shown me that greater flexibility and adaptability are required in consulting. You have to constantly adapt to new teams and customers. Personally, I really like that.            

"If you trust you can, you're already halfway there."
              In my career as a developer, I’ve noticed that the cliché of male-dominated software development is partly true. Women, for example, are often forced into front-end roles because they are said to have a good eye for design. I’ve also worked on teams where women have been outnumbered, but on my current team, about a third of us are women. Gender distribution has no direct impact on my work; I focus on performing tasks that give me pleasure, regardless of my colleagues’ gender.
As a digital hero, my slogan is: "If you trust you can, you're already halfway there." I would also like to convey this self-confidence to other women in IT. I advise them not to be too self-critical and not to be deterred by fears. It’s crucial to face challenges and believe in yourself to succeed in this industry.

Digital SHEro Yingtao: My journey into IT
              I am originally from China and have been living in Munich for some time now. I have always been fascinated by IT and have been interested in computers and technical subjects since I was a child. As I was always good at math at school, I decided to study mathematics at the Technical University of Munich. However, I quickly realized that I missed the practical application and changed my degree course to technology-oriented business administration. I chose computer science as a minor subject and was able to get to know some exciting topics such as algorithms, data structures and optimization. This is how I entered the exciting world of process mining. Today I work as a Managing Consultant at valantic in Munich. I lead the Process Intelligence team there.            

My superpower is my friendliness
              In IT - a field that is often characterized by seriousness and facts - my friendliness is my superpower. I have found that a smile and a positive attitude can lighten the atmosphere and have a calming effect in stressful times. I try to lighten up situations with my authentic and cheerful manner, which can be an advantage in addition to my professional expertise. I often act as a mediator between technology and business. As a manager, it is also important to me to be empathetic and support my team. I make an effort to listen and to recognize and promote the strengths of my team.            

"Don't think too much, just get started"
              There are hurdles and challenges to overcome everywhere. For example, my emigration to Germany was often difficult. In the end, I always overcame the obstacles and mastered the challenges. That made me stronger. That's why I can only recommend sticking with it and not letting it get you down. I have also never been put off by gender stereotypes. Women play an important role in IT and I encourage everyone not to be deterred from entering the industry. Because IT consulting offers an extremely wide range of opportunities.

My message: Have courage and keep at it! There are hurdles everywhere, but they make us stronger. So just go for it and jump in at the deep end.

Digital SHEro Vanessa Belstler: My journey into the IT world
              My path to IT was certainly not the usual one. Previously, I wanted to become an archaeologist or journalist. I then decided to study German. During my studies, I started working in the digital editorial office of a newspaper. That's where I first came into contact with the digital industry. After completing my studies, I worked for KPMG in Switzerland, where I was migrating websites. I learned a lot and worked on many different topics there. Meanwhile, I am more on the business side, but I always wanted to understand how the underlying technology works. Since February 2023 I’m on board with valantic and work as a Business Area Manager in the area of Digital Experience Platforms. Together with my team, I work on e-commerce shops in the B2B and B2C sectors.            

My superpower is organization!
              Working in the IT industry is undoubtedly challenging for me. But it's a challenge I enjoy. I appreciate the diversity and continuous learning opportunities that my profession offers. I also derive a lot of my motivation from interaction with my colleagues. They help me create a pitch in a very short time - that really causes you to bond. I also love the variety in my job – no day is like another and that always keeps the work exciting. My superpower is my organizational talent. I have two daughters, ages 6 and 8. This means there are always new challenges that need to be mastered. This only works with good organization. As I travel a lot in my role, I coordinate my appointments with my family every month. I'm also lucky enough to have the support of my grandparents and can call on a network of babysitters at short notice.             

My slogan as a digital SHEro: "Just do it."
              Don't think about whether you can survive in this world, just do it, be there with passion, and do your best. I would advise other women: Just take that step and don't worry too much in advance: Am I qualified enough? Do I need technical expertise? Do I need to be able to write code? I see myself as a classic example. From the outside, it can seem scary at first, but it's worth taking that step into the IT industry. This industry offers so many opportunities and each person can find their place to bring in their individual strengths. What I don't know today, I can learn tomorrow, and soon it feels like I've always been here.

”Diversity is a critical success factor today. The proportion of women at valantic is already 25% higher than the industry average. However, increasing this percentage is very important to me personally and we have already taken some steps in this direction, such as founding our valantic internal women's network. But other aspects of diversity are also dear to my heart, and we want to encourage these.“

valantic SHEro: Marlene Paetzold

I gained my first experience in IT project management without any IT background at all, after completing my studies in business administration. That was in my previous job and even then, it was clear to me: I would like to continue doing this! As a lead consultant at INTARGIA Managementberatung, I support strategic IT projects with a focus on software implementation and business software selection. My empathetic and open manner helps me bring people together. In project management, I hold the reins so that everyone involved always keeps an eye on the overall project goal. In addition, I break complex IT issues down to the essentials in projects so that management can make decisions at a glance.

My valantic superpower: My strategic view of the big picture

Internally, I have set up various formats, such as vocabulary training and expert sessions, to help my new colleagues get started, especially if they have no IT background. The valantic Academy also offers training, so that everyone can make their way into the IT world quickly. My special success this year was becoming a mentor for an intern – for me, this was the first step toward team management. In my private life, I find my balance especially in sports, be it football or track and field. In addition, I have recently become involved in a worldwide youth organization. I participate in their social and environmental aid projects in the region.

valantic SHEro: Denise Rönnert

Here at valantic, I’m an SAP consultant for CRM systems; that is, everything regarding sales and service. In this capacity, I’m involved in various customer projects. Actually, I didn’t start out in the IT world. I made my way into the consulting world through a student job and my master’s thesis at an IT company. Then I was looking for a company that would give me more freedom and flexibility, one where I could really develop. That’s how I came to valantic. And the flexibility is real; for example, I work four days a week. I have Fridays for my private projects and as time for myself.

Portrait von Denise Rönnert, Female Empowerment bei valantic

My valantic superpower: Making users happy

In projects, I can empathize well with users and help them to develop new systems and processes. To do this, I have to formulate complex problems simply and find solutions quickly. My job constantly confronts me with new challenges, and I learn a lot about them automatically. I like that. A particular success was when a customer’s skeptical project manager told me after 1.5 years that I had pursued a very successful path from junior consultant to expert in the project. That was a high compliment for me. As compensation for working on a laptop so much, I like to move when I get the chance – whether by hiking in the Alps or working with a cordless screwdriver in the workshop.

valantic SHEro: Sandra Sertl

I used to work in controlling and I was very bored there. My husband encouraged me to try something new. That’s why I changed sides, from user to consultant. I feel very at home here. I now lead a 5-person team as SAP Analytics Manager. The vision that you can change and achieve something convinced me to take a job at valantic. And it really IS that way, that’s the great thing. We are always working to improve, remake, and make things more exciting. For me, success is the small steps when something really moves.

Portrait von Sandra Sertl, Female Empowerment bei valantic

My valantic superpower: Bringing teams together

It’s particularly important to me that the various valantic competence centers work together and grow even closer together. Here I participate in the communication. Personally, I take advantage of our flexible working hours every day to exercise. So, I am often not available for two hours at midday: for me, this is the best way to stay healthy and to work out. I like the versatility of my job the most. And this motivates me to discuss exciting questions with customers. Then IT becomes completely human. I wouldn’t have suspected that before I started in consulting.

valantic SHEro: Stefanie Junga

I stumbled into the world of consulting through a student organization because I originally studied French cultural studies and intercultural communication with minors in business administration and English. Now, I have been working at valantic in the finance sector for more than 10 years. My specialty is project management. My greatest professional highlight was when, as IT project manager, I ran two strategic finance projects in parallel for a large customer. Another success was the textbook I co-wrote. We actually just made a book out of a new legal requirement. Currently, I am working 20 hours a week and continue to have Mondays as my day off.

My valantic superpower: Creating harmony on the project team

As a project manager, I hold many different topics and requirements together. In addition to structure and quality, the team is particularly important to me. I bring people together, because establishing a good interpersonal basis in a project is crucial. This also led to me being the first project manager at a customer’s site to be invited to work with the development team. I have my private moments of success when sewing and with my son. Oh, and consulting doesn’t necessarily equal narrow-minded – I’ve gone directly from a project to a festival!

valantic SHEro: Ines Göppert

I am an SAP HCM Consultant at valantic, specializing in payroll accounting and administration. After two years in management consulting, I took a big step into IT consulting. But I dared to face new challenges. Looking back, I notice how well and quickly you can learn this and become familiar with technical topics. I especially enjoy working with people, both on the team and with the customer. You notice how you can work to reach the goal together with different skills.

My valantic superpower: Addressing new topics in a positive manner

My openness, how I approach people, and the dynamism of addressing new issues are my strengths. So, I want to get even more talented people excited about HCM Consulting and advance our junior recruiting. My great success is the way I combine my job and my private life so well. Sports, friends, and family are the perfect balance for me. It’s very important not to forget all this. And this works very well!

valantic SHEro: Marcela Falahati

At valantic, I am the leader of the SAP SuccessFactors team in human resources cloud technology. In my previous job as a human resources developer, I came into contact with the implementation of HR software for the first time. I think that was a good combination for getting a taste of the IT world. Without the internal introduction, I might never have imagined switching to specialist and IT consulting. At valantic, I am not only allowed to do my dream job; at the same time, I can develop in new areas. It’s noteworthy that many women on our team choose IT consulting. Our team is 70% women, and that’s the real success!

My valantic superpower: Translator for digital topics

At valantic, as division director, I have the opportunity to blaze new paths and try out different concepts & ideas. I am very grateful for the company’s full confidence and support. In projects, I am an incredibly good translator: I can explain very complicated technical relationships quite simply. This makes even supposedly complex software topics easy to understand. Our customers appreciate it when we as consultants have an overview and can provide clear explanations. I especially enjoy being the bridge between IT and HR. In private, I am an absolute animal lover: In addition to my 2 cats, my sled dog and I keep each other on our toes. I enjoy my time in nature during my lunch break.
